This is the Basic Alpine Climbing Course sign-up for Field Trip 1.
So that students new to climbing and without prior belay experience can spend maximum time at station 1; Station 3 (Rope Ascending) will be done at Monday Night Skills for these students.
Station 3 will be set up for students who breeze through station 2. Station 3 (Rope Ascending) will be available on Monday Nights through about May. For this course rope ascending is primarily a glacier travel self rescue skill. No hurry to learn this right away at the start of the course.
